I Made Up...

...a new word. Yep, combined the words chilling with the word relaxing to make the word "chillaxing." Sure, it sounds a bit Snoop Doggy Dog, but I like that feel. Laid back, just enjoying. I hope to be able to do some of that this last weeek of summer!

Edited: Okay, so I am a dork. This word has been around forever according to DH, anonymous bloggers and Sasha. I am just now getting cool enough to know about it! LOL! Whatever...just ignore me and look at the layout! LOL!

It really is what we did for the end of June, all of July and August. My very grown up almost five year old will go to his new (pre)school today for the whole morning. I have noticed a change already where he is acting more mature! We decided a long time ago to hold him out of kindergarten since he is an October birthday. The extra year can only help!

Here is the layout, BTW, the one with the word I did not really invent:

Supplies: (All from the August My Scrapbook Nook kit) Paper: October Afternoon Road Map, White letters: American Crafts, Colored Letters: October Afternoon, All Die-cuts: October Afternoon

Journaling: You two love to just hang out and enjoy all that surrounds you. Could you sit any closer this day at the reservoir? The funny thing is that you are often found right next to each other. By your own choice. You really are the best of friends just...chillaxing!

I handcut the clouds. You know I have a thing for them. They spew happy, fluffy, dreamy! Made the sun by cutting out two of the yellow pinwheels from the patterned paper and layering them! I love this picture because they are so close to each other. They often are! One day at the ice cream store, they spontaneously hugged while we were in line. The owner was so touched she wanted a picture of them to add to her photo wall!

U r done with summer vacation now? back to work already? I have got to copy this too, lol, since I have all the papers, so so clever, that little sun :) So is your 5 year old going to kindergarten or not? I can't quite figure out reading your post :) Mine is, she's way way way way way too excited about it! Thanks btw re: your comments about my cards and submission :) it's called: submitted and REJECTED, L O L !!!

Great LO Stacey & really great word! Your babes are way too sweet being so close. Mine have that special bond also...well, except for a short, but what seemed like an eternity at the time, phase when they were rolling through middle school! LOL!

You are always very creative with your designs and use of papers, so why not be creative with words!! This is great Stacey. I love the photo of your little ones. Mine are 7 years apart, so they have their moments. But they are also very loving and I cherish these moments!
